ActiveVOS
ActiveVOS makes it easy to design, build, manage, deploy and maintain services-based applications.
It's a big claim, and one you've heard before. But ActiveVOS delivers. Read on to find out how.
Start by considering these two fundamental reasons why ActiveVOS is better than anything that has come before it:
- #1: It's an all-in-one solution. Everything you need is in one place: graphical process modeling and design, a rock-solid, proven and scalable execution engine, superior testing and deployment capabilities, and -- an industry first -- an integrated complex event processing (CEP) engine.
Gone are the days when you had to create an "infrastructure" before you could actually begin creating applications. No longer do you have to alter a process to integrate it with some new capability that you need but which resides elsewhere. Now you can reuse all your Java code, simply and compatibly.. It's obvious: when everything you need is in one product, of course it will be easier to create next generation applications. - #2: ActiveVOS is 100% standards-based. Model processes using the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)...run them on a mature, scalable Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) engine. Incorporate human processes using BPEL4People and WS-Human tasks.
Open standards protect enterprises because they prevent vendor lock-in. Open standards make it easier and faster for developers to produce new and enhanced applications. In short, everyone wins with standards (except, of course, vendors of proprietary technologies.)
ActiveVOS is the first of a new generation of development systems -- the visual orchestration system -- that eliminates the "piece-parts" strategies of earlier business process management (BPM) systems and SOA development tools.
For the first time,
ActiveVOS makes it possible for developers and companies to focus on their business needs and the applications necessary to resolve those needs instead of exhausting themselves and their budgets trying to make sense of a bunch of piece parts.
Model business processes graphically
- Create sophisticated business models using standard BPMN
- Import existing models from Visio, Rational Rose, BPEL, UML2 or XPDL
- Add metadata and simulate processes for cost and resource impacts
- Export completed models to BPEL for implementation
Visually design, test and deploy orchestrations
- Graphical design environment for creating BPEL applications
- Service discovery and service reference management
- Full design-time simulation and remote debugging
- Built-in identity and email services
- Rules, compensation, fault, and event handling
- Customizable Human Task Inbox supporting BPEL for People and WS-Human Task
- Reusable orchestration components
- Generate unit and scenario tests
- Manage and inject sample data used to validate a change and test paths
Push-button deployment
- Wizard-based deployment and packaging
- Policy-based configuration
- Flexible bindings: WS, JMS, REST, EJB, POJO
- Endpoint management: URL Mapping (Design-time: static, dynamic, invoke, principal)
Integrated complex event processing (CEP)
- Same-server CEP utilizes execution events to enable CEP applications
- CEP is deployment-time feature of orchestrations. No need to alter running processes to add CEP
- SQL-based CEP language allows rapid creation of applications
- Take a wide range of actions based on CEP, including starting new or altering running processes
Flexible reporting and universal console
- Standard dashboards and reports inform business owners and operations staff of important processing metrics
- Customizable reports and dashboards allow real-time insight into the overall state of the business
- Universal console for server, task and process monitoring enhances availability and problem determination
Enterprise-class deployment performance
- Process exception management: suspend, remote debugging
- Server-based correlation, fault, event and retry handling
- Clustering, high availability, fail-over
- On-line deployment of new process version
Manage change
- WSDL refresh, compare, update
- Advanced find and where-used controls
- Regressing testing
- Online deployment of orchestration updates
Vendor neutral
- Based on standards
- Platform Independent
- 100% compliant with BPEL 2.0 specification
- BPMN 1.0 compliant
- Reference implementation of BPEL Extensions for People and WS-Human Task
ActiveVOS is everything you need and nothing more.
